I've used Spydertrax in the past (no problems at all) and now am sporting some G2's, which have approx 5k miles on them. They've been run at highway speed (80mph) and recently ranthe Rubicon Trail without any issue. BORA also makes some good spacers.

Im glad I took my wheel spacers off. My esp light hasnt came off since. I got proper backspaced steel rims now. I even had hub centric rings made. All this time I thought it was my alignment. The ride is great now.

That shouldn't have made a difference. A spacer is meant to duplicate a wheel with proper backspacing...

I didnt want the extra stress on my ball joints plus I needed spacer adapters because my old rims were 5 on 5.5 bolts. My tires stuck out like 5 inches past fenders. Now they are half that.

Now that makes sense. With the spacer adapters, you are definitely adding a lot of unnecessary stress. But a standard spacer on a factory wheel doesn't put any more stress on the components that a properly backspaced wheel.
